SuziQ991 ... I think pullet eggs just produce smaller chicks. They should be fine.

I know! I know! The suspense is maddening!
Well, honestly, this hen would have still been sitting if I had not taken the eggs from her, and given her the chicks. One chick is a couple days old and I wanted one of the broodies off the nest to care for it. So, I just decided to try this. So far it is working. I will see in the morning how the other 2 broodies are doing!

Are you guys sick to death of my pictures yet? If not, then here are some more.
I went outside to see the broody and chicks. Brock (DS) had let them outside. I panicked for a moment, as I only saw the mama sitting there. Then, I saw 2 chicks come out from under her ....
Then there were 3 .....
Within a couple minutes she got up and all 6 were out ....
It is so cute how she calls them, and the come to her! I LOVE this!
New baby hatched, from Broody #2. I dunno what it is, but it is a girl! She has a dot on her head, and is dark. It could be Mama Cuckoo Marans and BCM papa. It is a mix, for sure.
